Hello guys,
I am starting my outdoor organic experiment. First I germinate 2 autoflowers: Blackberry Kush Auto and Auto Orange Bud from Dutch Passion, later on I am going to plant 3 photoperiod ladies as well: Durban Poison (Dutch Passion), Durga Mata (Paradise Seeds) and Liberty Haze (Barney's Farm), but as I don't want monsters in my garden I'll start in a couple of weeks, before the next full moon.
I am using organic fertilizers as a top dressing: Guanokalong Bat Guano (and Palm Tree Ash during flowering), Seaweed (Ascophyllum Nodosum), Alfalfa meal, Fish meal and EM (Efficient Microorganisms). The same ingredients I used to make a Fermented Plant Juice as well, so I'll go slowly experimenting how that works.
Planning to add some sprout tea once every two weeks for boosting the enzymes and perhaps a compost tea made of worm casting and molasses, but I don't think that is going to be necessary. In case they will need extra Ca and Mg, I'll use the eggshell/vinegar combination.
I added some Diatomaceous earth to the soil for pest control and as a silica source.
So if You are interested in organic growing with homemade fertilizers, You are very welcome to check my diaries out.
Hope You will like it!
Bom Bolenath!
UPDATE:
After 2 and a half days it has just popped out. Seems to want to live!
Now she goes into the soil using directly the final pot.
15 L pots:
2,5 L Coco
1,5 L Worm castings
1,5 L Perlite
9,5 L Biosoil with ripen cow dung
Dressing: Mychorrhiza (10 g), Alfalfa meal (1 TBLS), Seaweed (1 TBLSP), Fish meal (1 TBLSP), Bat Guano (100 g), Diatomaceous earth (40 g)
Humic acid granules (20 g)
After planting I watered the soil with a smooth EM mix.
Hi there. Of the various things I’ve been trying this year I think LAB is likely the best single thing. The plants always seem to really like it. Good luck.
My plants absolutely love the barley SST that I’ve given them. I’m also going to be using barley malt as a top dressing to provide nutrients at the start of flowering. So, a bit of a hybrid of KNF and organic methods using barley.
Barley has a great nutrient profile for cannabis growing so it’s likely worth using along with the KNF methods.
Good luck.
